World-famous surgeon Lazar Greenfield probably meant no harm. In a 2011 Valentine’s Day themed article in the trade journal Surgery News, Greenfield, president of the American College of Surgeons and the inventor of a widely used surgical device that prevents blood clots, reflected on a study that reported mood-enhancement properties of semen. He then made the following statement: “So there’s a deeper bond between men and women than St Valentine would have suspected, and now we know there’s a better gift for that day than chocolate.”
What happened?
An academic ruckus broke out. Greenfield was accused of being sexist. People threatened to demonstrate publicly. Eventually, the surgeon was forced to resign his position at the American College of Surgeons, as well as his editorship of Surgery News.
